Memantine Hydrochloride high pure 99% raw material powder CAS 41100-52-1

Crystalline Solid
Memantine hydrochloride is a hydrochloride obtained by reaction of memantine with one equivalent of hydrochloric acid. A low to moderate affinity uncompetitive (open-channel); NMDA receptor antagonist which binds preferentially to the NMDA receptor-operated cation channels. It has a role as an antidepressant, an antiparkinson drug, a dopaminergic agent, a neuroprotective agent and a NMDA receptor antagonist. It contains a memantinium(1+).|Memantine is an oral N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonist used in the therapy of Alzheimer disease and dementia. Memantine is associated with a minimal rate of serum enzyme elevations during therapy and has only rarely been implicated as a cause of clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Memantine Hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of memantine, a low-affinity, voltage-dependent, noncompetitive N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist. Memantine binds to and inhibits cation channels of glutamanergic NMDA receptors located in the central nervous system (CNS), preventing the prolonged influx of calcium ions and the associated neuronal excitotoxicity, and thereby potentially enhancing cognitive function. Memantine is also a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5HT3) receptor and nicotinic receptor antagonist.|AMANTADINE derivative that has some dopaminergic effects. It has been proposed as an antiparkinson agent.
